Maps to the Stars Page #2

Synopsis: The Weiss family is the archetypical Hollywood dynasty: father Stafford is an analyst and coach, who has made a fortune with his self-help manuals; mother Cristina mostly looks after the career of their son Benjie, 13, a child star. One of Stafford's clients, Havana, is an actress who dreams of shooting a remake of the movie that made her mother, Clarice, a star in the 60s. Clarice is dead now and visions of her come to haunt Havana at night... Adding to the toxic mix, Benjie has just come off a rehab program he joined when he was 9 and his sister, Agatha, has recently been released from a sanatorium where she was treated for criminal pyromania and befriended a limo driver Jerome who is also an aspiring actor.

I think that you didn't mean to.

You need help.

That's all.

Don't you wanna help me?

Not like this.

I think that we need to

think about what we're doing.

On all the flesh that says yes.

On the forehead of all my friends.

On every hand held out.

I write your name.

Ms. Havana?

It's Ms. Genie.

- How you doing, baby?

- Eh, I'm okay.

I really had a session with Stafford.

That is so brave, what you do.

Doesn't feel brave.

I need a new chore whore.

What do ...

what happened to Adaggio?

Ahh... I had to fire her.

You're kidding!

What happened?

She was stealing.

Adaggio?!

Oh God, I don't believe it.

Yeah, yeah. She took some money

and a ring I got last year in Paris

and some Vicodin.

Oh my God!

- What did you caught her?

- Um.-hmm.

So what did you call the police?

Yeah, I told her I would

if she didn't go to rehab.

I see that she's there now, huh?

Yeah, with the all the other

dope fiend personal assistants.

They have there own wing.

Okay, well, I call Carry again.

Um, love her, love Carrie

but don't bother her with this sh*t!

She'll think it's hilarious.

I'm meeting her later at the J.J. thing.

She'll give me some names.

So, umm...

What's going on with 'Stolen Waters'?

Well, I called Vita but you know,

they're all at Sundance.

Yeah, everyone but me!

I gave the best reading

of my life, Genie!

I went in there and

I blow everyone away!

I know, I know.

I mean, you know,

the only thing I can think of was that

they maybe they have some concerns

about the perception of stunt casting.

Everything is stunt casting.

Havana...

... this is a movie and not a great one...

... that your mother made.

30 years ago!

No, no.

But it could be... it could be...

Great! It's a , it's a re-imagining.

It's a f***ing art film!

I mean, who do you think

came up with the idea of

my mother looking back on

the making of 'Stolen Waters'

if she had lived?

I did. I did!

I mentioned it to Damien

4 years ago in Mystique.

I know, I know.

They should give me the part.

And, and a producers credit too.

I mean this role was...

... made for best supporting. It's...

It's... it's a f***ing second chance.

And it's, it's Damien Javitz.

He totally resurrects actors.

And I went in there and I killed it.

Sterl still doing it?

Yeah...

Yeah, he owes me.

I introduced him to Harvey and

you know Harvey is producing and I mean,

I already talked to Harvey and

He's gonna to talk to Damien

but you know...

Harvey is Harvey, but...

Sterl can talk to Damien?

You know we are doing

everything we can but

you know, at the end of the day,

it's an art film.

I mean it will be great if you got the job.

But in case you're not aware
